Re: Problem with string as HASH ref while strict refs in use

in reply to Problem with string as HASH ref while strict refs in use

you have something like

package Cats; sub new { bless {}, shift } # generic constructor ;) sub purring { $self = shift; $self->{key} = "foos" };

what's happening is that you are calling that method on the package, instead of on an instance of a class...

my $self = Cats->new; $self->pruring; # will set the key, since $_[0] is $self Cats->purring; # will treat the invocant ("Cats") as a hashref, since + $_[0] is the package name

perlboot has more. (and yes, It is deliberate that i didn't write it in terms of your code ;)
